Hi everybody!

Is it possible to create a 'tcpdump/libpcap'-similar tool on top of
Android? I couldn't find suitable stuff in the API, so I think this
needs creating a custom library. Any ideas?

Regards,

vibesz

Should be possible to port tcpdump to android.
For example, I got hping2 working on android, you can have a look
at its "--listen" option (a few tweaks in the source code gives you a
complete sniffer).
